Indian Ocean things to do
Scuba Diving & Snorkelling
The waters of the Indian Ocean are exceptional for diving, and you'll have a whale of a time exploring the watery depths. This region's dive spots are known for their visibility, and their abundant marine life, so you won't need to look hard to find tropical fish, turtles, reef sharks, whale sharks, manta rays and dolphins.
Golf
Indian Ocean islands make for the best golf courses. Mauritius is one such island and having recently been awarded the title of Golf Destination of the Year for Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Gulf States, it's the perfect spot for enjoying a few rounds in the sun. The Legend course at Belle Mare Plage is one particular highlight.
Big Game Fishing
If you'd rather stay above the water than below, there are plenty of exhilarating water sports available, like big game fishing. Set out to sea and cast out to see what you can catch in the Indian Ocean. With enormous tunas, barracudas and sailfish, who knows what will tug the line - with a bit of luck, it'll be big.
Luxury Spa
The Indian Ocean isn't just renowned for its beaches and coral reefs. You'll find the very best luxury spas here as well. Choose from a full menu of treatments, and enjoy a rejuvenating massage, a reinvigorating wrap, or a detoxifying steam in the sauna. Better yet, try a sublime underwater spa and watch the exotic fish swim by.
Water Sports
Embrace your inner daredevil and go parasailing on a luxury getaway. Float above the coral reefs and admire the white sand beaches and turquoise waters from an entirely new perspective. With such clear waters, you may see dolphins and gentle whale sharks going about their business. Alternatively, rent a board and go surfing amongst the Ocean's marine life!
